Shenandoah1 New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 2:23 pm Given the rarity involved, I'm 99.8% certain this coin is a replica but since they were struck in pewter, silver and brass -- and mostly because I have zero experience with this type of coin -- I figured I'd ask for some confirmation here. Thank you. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4415 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 4:59 pm Poorly done, cast copy you have. I believe that most of these were made back in the 1960's and were commonly sold as souvenirs at tourist sites. Report this Post to the Staff

Shenandoah1 New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 6:31 pm Hey, thanks everyone! My sister found this one buried under the floorboards of her house which was built in 1769, so it wasn't beyond the realm of possibility, but as I told her, almost certainly a fake. Good to have confirmation. Thanks again. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 7:59 pm @Shenandoah1, yes it is good to get confirmation here at CCF. For me, the visible parting line along the edge is the proof that this isn't real.

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 05/09/2018 12:58 am I know this sounds insulting, so forgive me in advance, but does your sister have a history of trying to scam money out of you? This "My sister found this one buried under the floorboards of her house which was built in 1769" stuff is something commonly seen on ebay. To be honest, it creates a disconnect that makes my brain hurt. Did somebody intentionally bury an obvious fake under the floorboards of this 1769 house? Or... ? Report this Post to the Staff
